Hi guys! I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to read this story. I appreciate it and hope you'll drop me a review or a PM and let me know what you think.

I have never, ever written a story like this one. I prefer happy stories with happy endings, and if that is what you're looking for, I'm sorry. This won't be it.

A few head's ups for you: This story is rated M for a reason. It's dark, and sad, but isn't life sometimes? Like I said, I welcome reviews, but come on. Be nice about it, would you? This is MY take on a story that came into my head one day. I'm just borrowing characters for it. They may not act the way they do on-screen, and again, that will just be my take on them.

WARNING: This story contains elements of depression, suicide, drug use, and self-harm.

**I own nothing from One Tree Hill. Nothing at all.**
